Parents need to know that the show features content that focuses on gender and politics. There is very little to object to other than comments made by Mac's adversary, who in the first episode jokes about human rights, a woman's ability to hold higher office, and menopause. One major plotline features a Nigerian woman threatened with violent death for having a child out of wedlock. A scene depicting her rescue that begins in a Nigerian prison is a little disturbing.
